Tubes vs. Grubs in current

I am sure you can catch fish on a tube moving it against the current, too, but
it is not as natural as fishing it with the current. When fishing a boot tail
or curly tail grub against the current you will get more action - more
vibration. It may look more like a fish struggling, but with tube going
against the current it will just slide along - maybe not a bad thing, but
different from the grub.

I fish the Flint River near me some, and I can catch bass on Shadraps most
often fishing it with the current, but fishing them against the current gives
them more action and makes them dig deeper. That seems to excite active bass.

Ok gents, you got it through my thick skull. I just had to rig up a
tube and watch it in the pool. I've only tried tubes a couple of times,
and it never clicked that the "skirt" is streamlined on a tube. I was
picturing the same action as on a skirted spinnerbait. Duh. Hmmm...
Maybe if I turned one partially inside out... Naaahh. Thanks guys!

A skirted grub might be more in line with what you are thinking.

Then you could do the same thing with a good jig and a twister type trailer.

Maybe something like this.
